The proud orange-clad fans were rejoicing throughout the streets of Vancouver following the draft. Well, let’s give them more to cheer about.
Newly crowned General Manager Chuck Fletcher wanted to keep his young up and coming stars intact with the orange and black for years to come. He stayed true to his promise as the Flyers officially announced the re-signing of Scott Laughton today for another 2 years- $2.3 million AAV.
Laughton does the little things, and does them well. He skates, plays on the PK, and he is interchanged on lines throughout the lineup. Laughton was one of the more consistent Forwards last season for the orange and black.
